HLS Therapeutics Enters into Automatic Share Purchase Plan

TORONTO, May 30, 2018 /CNW/ - HLS Therapeutics Inc. ("HLS" or the "Company") (TSXV: HLS) announces that it has entered into an automatic share purchase plan (the "ASPP") with a designated broker in order to facilitate repurchases of the Company's common shares ("Common Shares") under its previously announced normal course issuer bid (the "NCIB").  The ASPP has been approved by the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") and will be implemented effective May 30, 2018.

Under the ASPP, the Company's designated broker may purchase Common Shares under the NCIB at times when the Company would ordinarily not be permitted to do so due to regulatory restrictions or self-imposed blackout periods.  Before entering into a blackout period, the Company may, but is not required to, instruct the designated broker to make purchases under the NCIB in accordance with the terms of the ASPP. Such purchases will be determined by the designated broker in its sole discretion based on parameters set by the Company prior to the commencement of the blackout period in accordance with the terms of the ASPP, applicable securities laws and the rules and policies of the TSXV. Outside of these blackout periods, the Company may purchase Common Shares at its discretion under the NCIB.

The NCIB commenced on May 18, 2018. Pursuant to the NCIB, HLS may, if considered advisable, purchase for cancellation through the facilities of the TSXV and/or permitted alternative trading systems, from time to time over the next 12 months, up to an aggregate of 1,371,495 of its issued and outstanding Common Shares.
